vulva Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Money and London get the best loans, everyone else feeds off the scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It will be interesting to see what standard of player we bring in this month, that will be on Bruce’s wanted list Examples at Brum he signed Dugarry, at Hull he signed Hernandez/Ben Arfa and Villa he signed Bolasie/Abraham. Players seem to want to sign for him. Terry turned down tax free salaries in China and Russia to sign for Villa and apparantly Bruce was one of the main reasons It would be great if we can sign at least one very creative player we’ve been missing for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 3 hours ago, i used to be sc_owl said: I too had this conversation with someone. When Bruce calls up a Premier League club, they will know who he is and his name demands a certain respect. When Jos calls up he would have either been knocked back or had to spend ten minutes explaining who he is. Networking is such an important part of football that you cannot overstate its importance. i'm sure it's all done thru agents but if it isn't then pochettino & sarri seemed happy to deal with jos …..

Saxondale Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The fact we are not challenging for anything this season pretty much puts to bed the chance of attracting any top loan players. We will probably see more benefit in the summer when the clear out begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
